[quote=Anonymous]Dh and I were in this position, with the roles switched. I’m financially conservative, he is less so. I wanted to spend less than we could technically afford and get a more modest house. His thought was that we were settling down in this area and wanted a home he could truly be proud of. House hunting being what it is in the DC area, we expanded our budget and landed in a lovely bigger house. Now I’m quite grateful we’re here and think he was right to hold out for the nicer home. That said, we can afford it and it was not a giant leap from where we were looking. This was a few years ago now, but we went up from essentially a $600k budget to a $750k budget. So around here, a nicer home on a quieter block, but not a huge difference from where we are. I would think about what you want, and what you can truly afford to pay, and see if it might be reasonable to move up in house to what your wife wants. [/quote]
